Yesterday, I started a new blog for my final project in a course I’m taking this semester (The Psychology, Politics, and Biology of Food). I’m taking a week off from eating candy (horrors!) to take the Congressional Food Stamp Challenge: living for a week on America’s average food stamp budget of $3 a day.

I’m hungry. And I miss candy. Reading the Times Dining section didn’t help, but it did mean I came across this piece on cacao growers.
